Gordon Lightfoot – “Alberta Bound”

Mr. Lightfoot has written a plethora of amazing songs, but “Alberta Bound” has become a favourite of mine as every summer we take our kids on a trip to both Alberta and Saskatchewan for various fiddle events.  Inevitably this song gets played on the way there.

Dean Martin (feat. Martina McBride) – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” 

Written in 1936 by Frank Henry Loesser this is great song for the season.  Being a fan of Dean Martin I couldn’t help but pick one from the posthumously released duets album, Forever Cool (2007), which came out 12 years after his death.  Dino’s music will truly be cool forever!

Judas Priest – “Electric Eye”

It doesn’t hurt the fact that I saw Judas Priest live for the first time in October and when they played “Electric Eye” and I was blown away at what a great song it is!  I probably haven’t listened to it for a good twenty years, but now it’s in heavy rotation on any music playing device that happens to be in front of me.

Ancients – “Built to Die” 

Since downloading their free two-song EP earlier this year I’ve listened to it endlessly!  This band is insanely tight and plays a brand of metal that borders on doom metal with great hooks.  Look for their new CD that will be out in early 2012.  They’re from Mission, so support your local artists.
